Transparent WEBp files also get corrupted by Bridge

Yesterday I reported SVG files getting corrupted by Bridge, when they’re getting ranked or labelled. Well, WEBp files also are corrupted by the same cause. The transparency is ignored and a ‘striped’ pattern (a continuation of the intended masked image edges) fills the gaps.

It seems to me that when Bridge adds or edits some (meta) data, the files gets corrupted.

In case of SVG files, strict apps like Figma don’t like the taste of it anymore, and refuse to import it.
In case of WEBp-files with transparency, the mask is destroyed. I didn’t notice it until I opened the WebP file back into Photoshop and saw what happened. (Bridge created and kept its correct-looking preview before I used ranking or labelling.)

    The same happened with me appending my metadata on my SVG files.

     

    After nalyzing the SVG code using the Notepad ++ I notice the exact same issue: Adobe Bridge seems to be unable to overwrite some old metadata and leaving behind conflicting or duplicated XMP data.

     

    Adobe, Adobe...

    I can confirm this bug. This also happens in PS.

    As soon as you assign keywords to an image in Br, changing format to e.g. jpg results in a mess!

    Just discovered a even worse malfunction: selecting all webp images (some with keywords and others without) and removing xmp-metadata, results in corrupting even the images that had no keywords assigned before!!

    This messed up over 100 images we rendered in 3D!!!

    Thanks Adobe - you are really professional software developers!
